With reference to ‘Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI)’, which of the following statements is/are correct?
1. It was jointly developed by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) and the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP).
2. It is a measure of acute multidimensional poverty covering both developed and developing countries.
3. Higher is the MPI Value, lower is the poverty incidence.How many of the given statements are correct?
CorrectAnswer : A
• MPI is the product of the incidence of poverty (proportion of poor people) and the intensity of poverty
(average deprivation score of poor people) and is therefore sensitive to changes in both components.
• The global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) is an international measure of acute multi-dimensional
poverty covering over 100 developing countries. Hence statement 2 is not correct.
• The MPI ranges from 0 to 1 and higher values imply higher poverty. Hence statement 3 is not
correct.IncorrectAnswer : A
• MPI is the product of the incidence of poverty (proportion of poor people) and the intensity of poverty
(average deprivation score of poor people) and is therefore sensitive to changes in both components.
